Title: BBC iPlayer update for new v3 player.

Evening all,

Looks like the BBC finally rolled out the new version 3 player to everyone not long ago with no way of going back to the old player and as a result this pretty much borked the current iPlayer plug-in.

Attached are updated site configs to take into account the changes.

Note that it looks like the BBC no longer provide a high quality non HD player (i.e: 832x468), but it looks like their new player dynamically adjusts the stream it uses based on the users bandwidth and player size. So, the standard_high site config has been tweaked to manually resize the player to a size that will get the user the HQ stream if their connection is good enough. The new players starts buffering with the lowest quality streams and builds up to the higher quality streams over the first 30 seconds or so.
